It's not enough to logout from Facebook because some of the cookies remain active and are watching what are you doing on the Internet !

Recommendation

Delete your cookies with the options from your browser or to ad to AdBlock these options:

facebook.com^$domain=~facebook.com ~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net
facebook.net^$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net
fbcdn.com^$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net

TBH, I never really log out from Facebook, or any other sites. Even when using CCleaner, I don't clean the cookies out.

If you're using a non-personal computer, (or just paranoid) you could use the Incognito or InPrivate mode of the web browser.

I don't clean the cookies either, the browser does this for me.

It's a good idea to use the InPrivate mode.

Hmm... Everyday I'm using to clear cookies on my browser without sign out in Facebook. With this situation it can generally pose privacy problem.
